I agree with your statement that med school is more endurance than raw intelligence, but you definitely need both to be at the top of your class. At the med school level, almost everyone is hardworking and above average in intelligence; if you’re a genius you will definitely stand out and have an easier time.
@@tarecy1923 People who say this never look at the actual philosophy grad employment statistics (most of them end up in law or management, assuming they don't go into academia which is usually always the intention) They're legit the highest paid humanities degree unironically lmao (unless you consider architecture a humanities)
Mathematics major here (also minored in physics & statistics). As everyone here knows, mathematics is at the forefront of any hard stem field. Those who criticize mathematics as a major are just scared because many mathematicians steal their jobs. I'm currently working as an R&D scientist with the national geospatial intelligence agency while doing my phD in statistics. I have done consulting work, and worked with a team of engineers developing a mini rocket engine for their capstone project. I am also very creative, and I develop tools for my music (effects, synthesizers,..). I do some 3d animation for fun as well because I love 3d modeling. Since the exciting world of procedural animation is simply a set of differential equations with initial conditions it was very easy for me to get into it mechanically. For all the math majors out there, your degree is only "too theoretical" if you choose to not apply anything you've learned to anything that your or your potential employers are interested in. Either way, you can go to graduate school and become a researcher if you're mainly interested in the theoretical aspect. However, most math majors I know are interested in BOTH worlds and are therefore more employable than most hard science degrees simply because many math majors are creative and have the background needed to excel in most hard science fields. They just have to pick up some additional skills (minors, certificates, projects and so forth). Okay, my rant is over...
Yeah I’m also a math major. I mean, what you’re saying is that the minors, certificates, and projects are what are helpful… not the math degree. I don’t see many employers who value proofs lmao. I am certain that what you’ve learned about mathematics has been helpful to those endeavors, but alone doesn’t do much, as you said. I think the theme is here is that you can’t really do much with a math degree unless you make it your life or intend to do graduate school. In other words, a bachelors in math is not a very employable degree, because it doesn’t teach you employable skills. I like math, but not enough to be a math PhD student. Nor do I have the motivation to work on elaborate projects with little to no benefit. I think there is also a bit of a glass ceiling because most jobs that utilize anything deeper than calculus 3 will be expecting a masters degree or an engineering degree LOL, so again, math bachelors not very useful. As someone who is about finish a math degree, it’s clear that I have five options: teach, study to become an actuary or work in insurance/finance, study and work to become a programmer, go to grad school for something with the leverage brought by a mathematics education, or give up on math. None of those options are “apply for a decent job,” the math degree is typically just a stepping stone to invest more into something and hope (with a lot of effort of course) that it works out in the end later. You are a prime example of this, given that your projects and other hobbies that require a lot of time and motivation are not just math based, AND you’re in grad school, shooting for a PhD in a math adjacent subject.
@WaluigiPinballFan I understand your concern, and it is largely accurate. I suppose my primary point was that a math degree gives you the skills necessary to break into any field that uses any sort of math whatsoever. I know very few people who just obtain a degree and can actually get a solid job with it, on its own. Computer science majors, physics majors, engineering majors, and many others give you the skills necessary to learn the actual skills you need for a job. So, I suppose I figured doing additional things with your degree to leverage yourself was a given, considering the age old saying, "The degree lands you an interview, but your skills get you the job." All of the things I did required my math degree to some extent. The NSA hires the most mathematicians out of any organization in the world. The NGA, and other agencies in government also hire math majors. If you look on indeed, or Google right now at engineering jobs, data jobs, finance jobs, and much, much more, you will see that a math degree is listed in most of those as a degree which qualifies you for the position. However, you're right....If all you have to show for you degree is proofs then of course you have no employability besides research. Most math majors I know DON'T do this though, and they pick up some programming, and some additional minors/certifications. With these things, you have a leg up in most positions you apply to. Look at the bureau of labor statistics. You will see that the job outlook for mathematicians is higher than engineering, computer science, and more. MUCH faster than average. People hate on math degrees in a vacuum, like you are, saying things like, "Sure, it can be useful in obtaining any skill in any hard science, engineering, even creative fields which require mathematical insight, and pretty much any job you could ever want to get.....but we aren't considering those additional skills. We only care about if you can graduate, apply, and get the job with no other additional work." News flash, MOST degrees will not give you the actual skills you need to do your job properly and ultimately fall short under this criteria....look at how many engineers straight up can't get jobs, or computer scientists, or pretty much any STEM degree holder who decides not to pick up any other skills using their degree as a point of leverage. It's just dishonest to evaluate a degree in this way as a result (since no one in their right mind would ever think math, physics, engineering and so forth is ACTUALLY useless). It isn't the degree at that point, it's just not knowing how to leverage your degree to learn related and more employable skills which gives you immense value on any team you're on. Even actuaries have to pass exams, and CPAs also have to pass exams for their license. Comp sci majors must complete projects to compete in their field, and engineers must have internships and even their own projects in order to compete in their field as well. Every successful STEM degree holder (success = landed a job in their field in this case) has done something on top of their degree to land a very good job. It's just the reality of the situation. In this amazing, highly technical world you need to be constantly learning to compete. This is a given in society, and should therefore be factored into the potential employability or "usefulness" of a degree. One of my friends (math major) works with a government contractor developing weapons systems, and another one I know became a successful CPA. Both of them, and myself, will tell you that your math degree is VERY powerful if you actually use it to leverage yourself. If you think all you need is a piece of paper to survive and thrive in this world you need a major reality check. That's okay though, that's one of the main points of college. I promise that if you put your clearly capable mind to it, you will be able to be employed and be very competitive in the modern job market.
@@WaluigiPinballFanyeah. If you’re doing a whole degree’s worth of work in projects and minors, it’s pretty clear that the math degree wasn’t what carried him. If you did all this work in different fields, then you did well despite the degree, not because of it.
Kinda agree. I'm in applied statistics and math, currently studying data science. Math and statistics is crazy needed. Especially statistics, like holy f*ck, everything in society related to statistics. It's f*cking hard btw, i'm not as smart as you so i'm struggling with advanced statistics. But i do acknowledge that statistics is so applicable irl, in almost every field. Whether it's medical/healthcare to finance to business or science or bio, chem. I didn't even care about statistics till i learn about them and how its applied in real life. It's everywhere and so useful. It even changes how i look at the world.
Finance and computer sicence double major here. Having actually engaged with all the materials in my course, criticising maths is basically rejecting the foundation upon which my 2 entire degrees have been built. It's like, dude, look around. Everything in your world is maths. Your cup is maths. Your pen is maths. Your phone is a HELL of a lot of maths, so is the internet you're using. I think people's conception of maths needs to break out from just pre-calc and calc to really begin seeing the beauty and the connections in everything.
female engineering major here who loves humanities majors and doesn't think college is useless outside of STEM :') however i have met many guys in my major who have the exact mindset you're describing
We have one meme account that is almost entirely dedicated to one professor, the stupid memes are probably a significant part of why not a higher percentage drops out
As a computer science major, yeah. When I was a kid, my schools would bring in presenters to tell us about what jobs we should do, and that the rate of the expansion of the CS field was far outstripping the number of professionals in computer science, but now that I'm in computer science, every company is like "yeah we have enough of your kind" and then i starve like I just really really wanted to learn about big O or whatever
I’m in med school and 100 percent agree that being smart is not really required to be in medicine. I used to think med students were extremely smart until I saw myself and my peers.

As someone who is currently applying to college as a comp sci major, you have encapsulated all my fears about it. I chose to do it because I feel like I’ll actually enjoy it but I’m terrified of the oversaturated market. I was thinking of maybe trying computer engineering but I never really got to take any engineering classes so I honestly don’t know what it’s like outside of my older siblings telling me how awful it was before they both dropped out of engineering to do different stuff. Either way I’m still excited to learn comp sci but the uncertain future is something I don’t enjoy thinking of.

As a Film major tbh... idk i feel there's also like 2 other types, like one who loves making short films in there free time and another who is just there lol
She cooked here. But hey, lemme defend compsci. It can be stable if you have an understanding of other fields as well. If you can only code, you’re replaceable. Find a specific combination of niche interests that you can apply coding to, and for sure a company would rather keep you than employing 3 other people.
I studied math in college, and your description is somewhat accurate. My personal description for the math major is that you are sold the idea by math departments at universities that it is one of the most versatile degrees you can get only to realize that it doesn't make you as employable as you thought because it is too broad.
My pol sci prof (I’m a development studies major) is the biggest nerd ever, and I love him for it. Dude’s first crush was because she had a really good research topic.
My thoughts on math majors, being one: You will never see a math major say this out loud but they could give two flying fucks what other STEM majors think of them because when you study math, "too theoretical" is a contradiction in terms. You literally become an ascended practically alien being thinking in ways those applied peasants could never comprehend. Again, you will never see a math major say this out loud because it makes you sound completely insane. But being a math major you have the ability to think about things literally everyone else is forced to just take for granted and its fun as hell to be the intellectual equivalent of an eldritch horror beyond human comprehension.
All of that stuff you mentioned for actuarial science are stuff i had to study for an engineering degree, but i think most of it was premajor stuff that are in common with a lot of science majors.
Lmao i have mixed major like history Political science and english with a minor of philosophy ( i hate this so much ) im thinking of going in to the teaching field ( oh trust me im just lost in life at this point )
Do law! Sure it may be oversaturated but if u grind really hard and get good lsat score (which from what I’ve heard is easier than the mcat/gamsat and requires less specialised knowledge) u can get into a top 14 law school and your options will open up a lot! The other option is to network a little and get a corporate job like marketing/copywriting/consulting. A lot of people say humanities majors are useless but what they don’t know is that even though they don’t necessarily offer vocational training they do teach really good critical thinking/analysis/writing skills and those are likely going to be very in demand, especially with a bunch of stem grads that have no idea how to work with other people and communicate their ideas. That’s what makes it good for law and also what provides u with soft skills that employers are looking for. I’ve actually had someone who studied ancient history come to my school to give a presentation on what he does and apparently a lot of people in management/consulting positions in the corporate world that he knows actually did humanities degrees. It is definitely possible if your school is decently prestigious and you’re willing to get to know people and climb the corporate ladder. The other options are civil service jobs or volunteering, working as a canvasser/researcher/policy analyst for a political party or non profit that you’re passionate about, or journalism (a lot of people that didn’t necessarily study journalism can land roles because they have a decent portfolio, either through volunteering at a news station or writing for their university paper) Don’t listen to the people who say that university is useless if you don’t study STEM haha
Math major here, currently doing Masters. Love the fact that the math bit is small, very hard hitting, like it comes for a few seconds, kills you, and goes away. Just like a real math problem.

In short. The other stuff is the theortical part that helps you understand computers more at the deep level, while coding, is just dealing with the surface if thats makes any sense

kinda spot on as medical student and yes, you just have to be hard working if you're in medicine. i think surgeons are extremely hard working and skilled. the smart ones according to me are the math and physics students
Yep, don't forget engineering, med student here that was gonna do eng but chickened out, plus it's nice knowing I have a job lined up lol
Agreed! Being somewhat intelligent certainly doesn't hurt, but it really comes down to a healthy dose of masochism and a willingness to give up your social life 🥲
I agree with your statement that med school is more endurance than raw intelligence, but you definitely need both to be at the top of your class. At the med school level, almost everyone is hardworking and above average in intelligence; if you’re a genius you will definitely stand out and have an easier time.
As a physics student, D for Degree 👍
this was so spot on and smartly delivered i loveee

Mathematics major here (also minored in physics & statistics). As everyone here knows, mathematics is at the forefront of any hard stem field. Those who criticize mathematics as a major are just scared because many mathematicians steal their jobs. I'm currently working as an R&D scientist with the national geospatial intelligence agency while doing my phD in statistics. I have done consulting work, and worked with a team of engineers developing a mini rocket engine for their capstone project. I am also very creative, and I develop tools for my music (effects, synthesizers,..). I do some 3d animation for fun as well because I love 3d modeling. Since the exciting world of procedural animation is simply a set of differential equations with initial conditions it was very easy for me to get into it mechanically. For all the math majors out there, your degree is only "too theoretical" if you choose to not apply anything you've learned to anything that your or your potential employers are interested in. Either way, you can go to graduate school and become a researcher if you're mainly interested in the theoretical aspect. However, most math majors I know are interested in BOTH worlds and are therefore more employable than most hard science degrees simply because many math majors are creative and have the background needed to excel in most hard science fields. They just have to pick up some additional skills (minors, certificates, projects and so forth). Okay, my rant is over...
Yeah I’m also a math major. I mean, what you’re saying is that the minors, certificates, and projects are what are helpful… not the math degree. I don’t see many employers who value proofs lmao. I am certain that what you’ve learned about mathematics has been helpful to those endeavors, but alone doesn’t do much, as you said. I think the theme is here is that you can’t really do much with a math degree unless you make it your life or intend to do graduate school. In other words, a bachelors in math is not a very employable degree, because it doesn’t teach you employable skills.
I like math, but not enough to be a math PhD student. Nor do I have the motivation to work on elaborate projects with little to no benefit. I think there is also a bit of a glass ceiling because most jobs that utilize anything deeper than calculus 3 will be expecting a masters degree or an engineering degree LOL, so again, math bachelors not very useful.
As someone who is about finish a math degree, it’s clear that I have five options: teach, study to become an actuary or work in insurance/finance, study and work to become a programmer, go to grad school for something with the leverage brought by a mathematics education, or give up on math. None of those options are “apply for a decent job,” the math degree is typically just a stepping stone to invest more into something and hope (with a lot of effort of course) that it works out in the end later.
You are a prime example of this, given that your projects and other hobbies that require a lot of time and motivation are not just math based, AND you’re in grad school, shooting for a PhD in a math adjacent subject.
@WaluigiPinballFan I understand your concern, and it is largely accurate. I suppose my primary point was that a math degree gives you the skills necessary to break into any field that uses any sort of math whatsoever. I know very few people who just obtain a degree and can actually get a solid job with it, on its own. Computer science majors, physics majors, engineering majors, and many others give you the skills necessary to learn the actual skills you need for a job. So, I suppose I figured doing additional things with your degree to leverage yourself was a given, considering the age old saying, "The degree lands you an interview, but your skills get you the job." All of the things I did required my math degree to some extent. The NSA hires the most mathematicians out of any organization in the world. The NGA, and other agencies in government also hire math majors. If you look on indeed, or Google right now at engineering jobs, data jobs, finance jobs, and much, much more, you will see that a math degree is listed in most of those as a degree which qualifies you for the position. However, you're right....If all you have to show for you degree is proofs then of course you have no employability besides research. Most math majors I know DON'T do this though, and they pick up some programming, and some additional minors/certifications. With these things, you have a leg up in most positions you apply to. Look at the bureau of labor statistics. You will see that the job outlook for mathematicians is higher than engineering, computer science, and more. MUCH faster than average. People hate on math degrees in a vacuum, like you are, saying things like, "Sure, it can be useful in obtaining any skill in any hard science, engineering, even creative fields which require mathematical insight, and pretty much any job you could ever want to get.....but we aren't considering those additional skills. We only care about if you can graduate, apply, and get the job with no other additional work." News flash, MOST degrees will not give you the actual skills you need to do your job properly and ultimately fall short under this criteria....look at how many engineers straight up can't get jobs, or computer scientists, or pretty much any STEM degree holder who decides not to pick up any other skills using their degree as a point of leverage. It's just dishonest to evaluate a degree in this way as a result (since no one in their right mind would ever think math, physics, engineering and so forth is ACTUALLY useless). It isn't the degree at that point, it's just not knowing how to leverage your degree to learn related and more employable skills which gives you immense value on any team you're on. Even actuaries have to pass exams, and CPAs also have to pass exams for their license. Comp sci majors must complete projects to compete in their field, and engineers must have internships and even their own projects in order to compete in their field as well. Every successful STEM degree holder (success = landed a job in their field in this case) has done something on top of their degree to land a very good job. It's just the reality of the situation. In this amazing, highly technical world you need to be constantly learning to compete. This is a given in society, and should therefore be factored into the potential employability or "usefulness" of a degree. One of my friends (math major) works with a government contractor developing weapons systems, and another one I know became a successful CPA. Both of them, and myself, will tell you that your math degree is VERY powerful if you actually use it to leverage yourself. If you think all you need is a piece of paper to survive and thrive in this world you need a major reality check. That's okay though, that's one of the main points of college. I promise that if you put your clearly capable mind to it, you will be able to be employed and be very competitive in the modern job market.
@@WaluigiPinballFanyeah. If you’re doing a whole degree’s worth of work in projects and minors, it’s pretty clear that the math degree wasn’t what carried him. If you did all this work in different fields, then you did well despite the degree, not because of it.
Kinda agree.
I'm in applied statistics and math, currently studying data science.
Math and statistics is crazy needed. Especially statistics, like holy f*ck, everything in society related to statistics.
It's f*cking hard btw, i'm not as smart as you so i'm struggling with advanced statistics.
But i do acknowledge that statistics is so applicable irl, in almost every field. Whether it's medical/healthcare to finance to business or science or bio, chem.
I didn't even care about statistics till i learn about them and how its applied in real life. It's everywhere and so useful.
It even changes how i look at the world.
Finance and computer sicence double major here. Having actually engaged with all the materials in my course, criticising maths is basically rejecting the foundation upon which my 2 entire degrees have been built.
It's like, dude, look around. Everything in your world is maths. Your cup is maths. Your pen is maths. Your phone is a HELL of a lot of maths, so is the internet you're using.
I think people's conception of maths needs to break out from just pre-calc and calc to really begin seeing the beauty and the connections in everything.
The most offensive thing as an engineering student is that she lumped all the engineering majors together /j.
And she didn't even affirm it enough how difficult it is and how much society should be grateful to us for sacrificing our social for this.

The chemistry student one is so true...
We have one meme account that is almost entirely dedicated to one professor, the stupid memes are probably a significant part of why not a higher percentage drops out
As a computer science major, yeah. When I was a kid, my schools would bring in presenters to tell us about what jobs we should do, and that the rate of the expansion of the CS field was far outstripping the number of professionals in computer science, but now that I'm in computer science, every company is like "yeah we have enough of your kind" and then i starve like I just really really wanted to learn about big O or whatever
I’m in med school and 100 percent agree that being smart is not really required to be in medicine.
I used to think med students were extremely smart until I saw myself and my peers.
13:00 Actuarial Major here. I was very surprised to not just be lumped in with the regular math people. And yes I do explain what an Actuary is at least once per month.
I study computer engineering, and I’m passionate about it. My girlfriend is equally dedicated to her field of education, specializing in K-12 and special education. She works as a paraprofessional in an elementary school and she loves taking care of those kids.

As someone who is currently applying to college as a comp sci major, you have encapsulated all my fears about it.

Either way I’m still excited to learn comp sci but the uncertain future is something I don’t enjoy thinking of.

She cooked here. But hey, lemme defend compsci. It can be stable if you have an understanding of other fields as well. If you can only code, you’re replaceable. Find a specific combination of niche interests that you can apply coding to, and for sure a company would rather keep you than employing 3 other people.
I studied math in college, and your description is somewhat accurate. My personal description for the math major is that you are sold the idea by math departments at universities that it is one of the most versatile degrees you can get only to realize that it doesn't make you as employable as you thought because it is too broad.
You literally exposed me as a biology major...
YES. shout out my Environmental Science baddies out there! the climate anxiety kills me every day!

the way i subbed so fast after hearing the accuracy of it all...
My pol sci prof (I’m a development studies major) is the biggest nerd ever, and I love him for it. Dude’s first crush was because she had a really good research topic.
My thoughts on math majors, being one: You will never see a math major say this out loud but they could give two flying fucks what other STEM majors think of them because when you study math, "too theoretical" is a contradiction in terms. You literally become an ascended practically alien being thinking in ways those applied peasants could never comprehend. Again, you will never see a math major say this out loud because it makes you sound completely insane. But being a math major you have the ability to think about things literally everyone else is forced to just take for granted and its fun as hell to be the intellectual equivalent of an eldritch horror beyond human comprehension.
All of that stuff you mentioned for actuarial science are stuff i had to study for an engineering degree, but i think most of it was premajor stuff that are in common with a lot of science majors.

Lmao i have mixed major like history Political science and english with a minor of philosophy ( i hate this so much ) im thinking of going in to the teaching field ( oh trust me im just lost in life at this point )
Do law! Sure it may be oversaturated but if u grind really hard and get good lsat score (which from what I’ve heard is easier than the mcat/gamsat and requires less specialised knowledge) u can get into a top 14 law school and your options will open up a lot! The other option is to network a little and get a corporate job like marketing/copywriting/consulting. A lot of people say humanities majors are useless but what they don’t know is that even though they don’t necessarily offer vocational training they do teach really good critical thinking/analysis/writing skills and those are likely going to be very in demand, especially with a bunch of stem grads that have no idea how to work with other people and communicate their ideas. That’s what makes it good for law and also what provides u with soft skills that employers are looking for. I’ve actually had someone who studied ancient history come to my school to give a presentation on what he does and apparently a lot of people in management/consulting positions in the corporate world that he knows actually did humanities degrees. It is definitely possible if your school is decently prestigious and you’re willing to get to know people and climb the corporate ladder. The other options are civil service jobs or volunteering, working as a canvasser/researcher/policy analyst for a political party or non profit that you’re passionate about, or journalism (a lot of people that didn’t necessarily study journalism can land roles because they have a decent portfolio, either through volunteering at a news station or writing for their university paper) Don’t listen to the people who say that university is useless if you don’t study STEM haha
